A stunning collection that displays King's phenomenally broad readership (stories published in the New Yorker, Playboy and McSweeney's and including the 25,000 word story "Gingerbread Girl" published in Esquire)-the first collection since King guest edited the bestselling Best American Short Stories 2007.

Now a major motion picture and winner of the Toronto International Film Festival People's Choice Award, The Life of Chuck is available for the first time as a standalone hardback.
